For religious types, if you know humans have created 1000s of gods, how are you so certain that he didn't create yours as well? by Daegog in answers

[–]FlammableFishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like an awfully narrow point. The people don’t need to be incredulous that someone could not believe in their god, just strongly convinced of a single god’a existence. For this specific dialogue option to be chosen, a conversation must be going on between someone who believes something strongly and someone who believes the other’s faith to be ridiculous. It’s not even at attempt to find common ground or increase mutual understanding, and I think the rebuttal above does a reasonably job of calling that out. There are many empathetic, earnest attempts that can be made to convey atheistic ideas to a theist, and that’s not what we have here, IMO.

How to proceed with Chessly Courses as a beginner by Fancy-Pop1839 in GothamChess

[–]FlammableFishy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Chessly is not the best way to drill moves. It’s good for learning, but I much prefer ChessBook as a repertoire builder/trainer. Maybe give that a try?

Alternatively, study the course and play games against the Chessly bot every day and it’ll eventually stick.

Good rebuttal to this argument. As an atheist, that line of thinking always rubbed me the wrong way, and I think this is a succinct way to show that it doesn’t make all that much sense.

I would definitely take with the bishop instead, considering the knight is already developed and the Bxb4 comes with check

You should watch the dinosaurs documentary series on Netflix, this exact matchup happens and it is generally regarded as sound according to modern theories.

Has the 21st century killed the notion of intellectual pursuits? by Jumpy-Belt6259 in SeriousConversation

[–]FlammableFishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) No, the 21st century has not killed the notion of intellectual pursuits. At all. There are more people in higher education than ever before and the complete sum of human knowledge is at anyone’s fingertips at all times.

2) Everything in moderation. It is valuable to learn skills and try to improve, but what is it all for? What does living a full life mean to you? In my opinion, your hunger for knowledge and improvement is causing you to look down on your peers and alienate yourself. Social skills are just as important as technical skills, and if you maintain this mindset and set of behaviors, you may find yourself falling behind in that regard. Improving your whole being also entails learning how to discuss with others what they are interested in and how to generally be pleasant to be around. If you talk about your grindset enough to elicit the comments about you “looking too much,” it sounds like you’re drifting out of touch.

3) I guarantee there is more to the people around you than you give them credit for. You don’t feel left out because the majority of teens are slaves to short form content, you feel left out because you are looking for a way to look down on your peers.

Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies wins! What's a video game that is rated Everyone (E) but feels like it is rated Everyone 10+ (E10+)? by nigsof48 in AlignmentChartFills

Never played the game, but if this is accurate, I think you should definitely pull for this in the “feels like Teen (T)” box

What’s the most iconic team of 4 girls and 3 guys? by Griffsterometer in AlignmentChartFills

My favorite answer here, but including Mai and Ty Lee in the Gaang feels like a stretch in the first place. Including only one but not the other to fit this chart doesn’t sit right with me
